一為顯於一而說此經有四種，一一為顯一乘故說此經，故第二云今此經中唯說一乘等。二為顯世尊平等大慧故，多寶讚云能以平等大慧等。三為顯真如體唯一相故說此經，故第三云如來知是一相一味等，前三令悟。四為一切色身三昧故，喜見菩薩等得現一切色身三昧，更有多一，略舉此四。此一略明因令修。

> First, there are four items demonstrating 'one': (1) to demonstrate the ekayāna this sūtra was taught, as stated in Chapter Two: 'Now, in this sūtra, only the ekayāna is taught,' and so forth; (2) to demonstrate the World-Honoured One's equal great wisdom, as Prabhūtaratna praises: 'able, through equal great wisdom...'; (3) to demonstrate that the essence of suchness has only a single characteristic this sūtra was taught, as stated in Chapter Three: 'The Tathāgata knows it to be of a single characteristic and a single flavor,' and so forth—the preceding three lead to awakening; (4) for the sake of the samādhi of manifesting all physical forms, where Bodhisattva Sarvasattvapriyadarśana and others attained the samādhi of manifesting all physical forms. There are still other instances of 'one', but these four are briefly cited. This 'one' briefly clarifies the cause to inspire practice.
